10.5 linear feet — 22 digital audio files — 1 digital video file

Professor of geography at the University of Michigan. Series include correspondence, subject files, professional societies, geography courses, reprints, manuscripts, notes as a student, and photographs; files relate to his professional interests and to the subject of geography.

The George Kish papers are divided into eight series: Correspondence, Subject Folders, Professional Societies, Geography Courses, Reprints, Manuscripts, Notes as a Student, and Photographs. These eight sections correspond, more or less, to the order that Kish maintained for his own files. The collection documents the academic career of Kish, from his Paris days as a student and his years at the U-M as a professor to his retirement and beyond. The collection's focus is not strictly on the university, as it also reflects Kish's prolific writings and his work in professional societies.

Correspondence

Correspondence covers a fifty-year span from 1939 to 1989, a period during which Kish was usually at the University of Michigan. The files are arranged as Kish had them, first by groups of years, then, within each group, alphabetically. For example, the folders for 1961 to 1966 are comprised of an alphabetical run of correspondence for those six years. Throughout the correspondence there are letters in the many languages in which Kish communicated. These include (in order of frequency): English, Italian, French, German, Swedish, Hungarian, Spanish, and Russian. This section is mostly general correspondence from both individuals and organizations.
